Why can a cloud appear dark?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it is dense and blocks more light

Correct answer: A. A cloud contains numerous water droplets and sometimes ice particles. A thick or deep cloud has a greater amount of condensed water and a longer path through which sunlight must travel. It scatters and absorbs more light, so less light reaches an observer below. The underside can therefore look grey or dark, especially when the cloud is dense and rain-bearing. A correctly connects the dark appearance with cloud thickness and the blocking of light. B is wrong because clouds are not rocks; they are suspended droplets and ice particles. C is wrong because water is essential to cloud formation. D is wrong because the Sun may still be shining above or behind the cloud. A dark cloud does not automatically guarantee rain, but it often indicates a thick cloud capable of producing precipitation. Memory cue: thicker cloud, less light below.
